Chapter 380: Attending One's Own Funeral
Looking at his own corpse lying on the stretcher, Xiao Yun was both shocked and stunned. What kind of trick is this Old Dragon playing?
"Old Dragon, what do you mean by saying I am already dead?" Xiao Yun glared at Old Dragon, his eyes filled with intensity.
Old Dragon chuckled and replied, "Xiao Yun, you've caused such a big commotion in Beijing and killed so many people. Do you think the Flower Family will let you go? Even if you escape to the Island Nation, they will likely pursue you there."
Then Old Dragon continued, "The Heavenly Mechanism Mirror is one of the ten ancient divine artifacts of our Huaxia. Its ability to traverse dimensions is not to be underestimated. If it falls into the hands of the Island Nation Military, it would pose a significant threat to our Huaxia. Therefore, to allow you to safely search for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror in the Island Nation, I deliberately arrested you in front of everyone at Yuxiang Manor. Then I will find a reason to say that you broke free from your handcuffs during transport and attempted to escape, resulting in being accidentally shot dead by the Special Police during the chase!"
Xiao Yun suddenly understood; the corpse lying on the stretcher was a substitute that the Dragon Team had found from somewhere to take his place.
It must be said that the Dragon Team was indeed full of talent. Xiao Yun could tell at a glance that this corpse had been disguised and showed no signs of being fake. If any of his women saw it, they would not doubt for a moment that this was his body.
At that moment, Xiao Yun realized the seriousness of the situation. What would happen if the women from Galactic District learned about his "death"?
An Yiran had already lost an aunt; how could she survive if she heard he was dead too?
Qiu Yue, Nie Xiaoqian, and his mother would certainly not be able to bear such a blow. Especially Little Bell; with her fierce temperament, one could only imagine what she might do in her rage.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun became anxious and asked, "Old Dragon, how do you plan to handle this corpse?"
Old Dragon replied, "I will have Luo Qiuyue, who came with you to Beijing, take this corpse back to Galactic District."
"This won't do!"
Xiao Yun said, "Not only in the Galactic District, but my women cannot accept this fact; I estimate that even those women in Yuxiang Manor won't be able to handle it!"
Old Dragon laughed and said, "Xiao Yun, Yuxiang Manor is An Si Niang's lifelong effort. I believe those women will consider carefully what is important. As for the people in the Galactic District, I will send someone to comfort them when the time comes. You don't need to worry about that!"
Hearing Old Dragon's words, Xiao Yun secretly scoffed. Who could you send to comfort my women? Can anyone really calm them down?
Perhaps others might be easier to deal with, but a little bell cannot be handled at all. No matter how capable your Dragon Team is, that Bird Woman will not care. I fear that whoever goes will be lost for good.
What worried Xiao Yun the most was that if Little Bell made a big fuss about this, it would become uncontrollable and might even involve more women.
The only solution right now was to return personally and tell Little Bell that he was not dead; this was merely a "deception" strategy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun pretended to be very helpless, sighed, and said, "Old Dragon, since things have come to this point, I have nothing more to say. However, you must agree to one condition before I can go to Island Nation."
Old Dragon squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Yun with a smile, asking, "Hehe, Xiao Yun, what condition do you have? Speak up!"
Xiao Yun replied, "I want to go back to attend my own funeral!"
"What? You want to go back to attend your own funeral?" Old Dragon frowned as if examining a monster while looking at Xiao Yun.
Standing aside, Long Yan coldly said, "No way, we cannot agree to this condition!"
Old Dragon also said, "Xiao Yun, I understand your feelings. You are worried that those women might die from grief because of you and that something unexpected might happen, right? Don't worry; as I said, I will send someone to comfort them. You don't need to concern yourself with that!"
Xiao Yun shouted, "I absolutely need to go back in person. If this condition cannot be met, I will definitely not go to Island Nation!"
"Impudent!"
Long Yan stepped forward and sternly reprimanded Xiao Yun, "Do you know who you are talking to?"
Hearing Long Yan's words, Xiao Yun became furious and said, "Miss, I'm talking to Old Dragon. Please step aside so I don't have to see your annoying face, alright?"
"You... how dare you say that I'm annoying?" Long Yan was infuriated and suddenly kicked a whirlwind kick towards Xiao Yun.
Smack!
Xiao Yun dodged slightly and grabbed Long Yan's ankle with his hand.
His eyes swept over Long Yan's fair and delicate leg beneath her skirt, and Xiao Yun suddenly grinned wickedly, "Beautiful lady, I know your legs are very beautiful, but there's no need to show off in front of me. Are you trying to tempt me on purpose?"
As soon as he said this, the two Special Police officers standing nearby were taken aback. This guy was clearly asking for trouble, daring to tease this fierce woman in front of Old Dragon.
Long Yan's face turned red with anger; she wanted to pull back her leg, but with her ankle grasped tightly by Xiao Yun, it felt as if it were rooted in place. She couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Pervert, let go of me!" Long Yan shouted angrily.
Old Dragon sat quietly in his rattan chair, silently observing this little episode unfolding before him.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; Xiao Yun was indeed bold enough to tease Long Yan right in front of him, clearly not taking him seriously at all.
The only person who can be so audacious in front of me is probably this peculiar individual.
If I don't impose some constraints on this kid, it seems he will truly be difficult to control.
At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of Old Dragon, barely noticeable to others.
Old Dragon put down his teacup and chuckled at Xiao Yun, saying, "Xiao Yun, for my sake, please let Long Yan go. As for your return to the Galactic District to attend your own funeral, I agree!"
Upon hearing Old Dragon's words, Xiao Yun immediately released Long Yan's ankle. However, as soon as Long Yan retracted her leg, she anxiously exclaimed, "Grandpa, why did you agree to him? Didn't we say that tomorrow I would go to the Island Nation with him?"
Xiao Yun quickly interrupted Long Yan, saying, "Beautiful lady, are you so eager to go to the Island Nation alone with me because you've developed feelings for me?"
"Bastard! Who has feelings for you!" Long Yan's face flushed with anger, her starry eyes wide open, wishing she could pounce on him and devour him whole.
Old Dragon laughed and said, "Alright, stop bickering. It doesn't matter if you go to the Island Nation in a day or two."
Hearing that he could return to attend his own funeral made Xiao Yun nod in satisfaction and say, "Old Dragon, thank you for your support!"
Unexpectedly, Old Dragon's expression turned serious in an instant. He said, "Xiao Yun, it's fine for you to return to attend your own funeral, but I have conditions..."
